DROWNING ACCIDENT. Death of Charles F. McLEAN in Kansas. The young man was drowned in Shore Creek near Milan on Friday evening. Age 26 years. Not married. Was in the employ of the sulky plow manufacturing company of Detroit, Michigan, and had been in that section of country only a few days.... He was unacquainted with the ford and drove in, thinking, no doubt, that he could easily make the crossing... The young man's mother, a very estimable lady, is matron of the Orphans Home at Davenport. The remains of Mr. McLEAN arrived in this city Saturday on the Rock Island road. The body was taken to the residence of Isaac HOFFMAN, an uncle, by marriage, of the deceased. Charley was the only son of his mother, born in this county Dec. 20, 1859. His father, William L. McLEAN, died in 1878.... The Masonic fraternity conducted the corpse to the grave....
